Artifice, in the genitive: February 2007

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Monday, February 26, 2007. I constructed an armet-burgonet cross helm for a teapot, and then added three tea cups to the set: Crusader great helm, Hoplite/Corinthian helm and a Norse helmet. Now, the armet-burgonet, great helm and Corinthian helms all have crests of various types that I could tweak into acting as handles, but I have found nothing that indicates Norse helmets having crests that stick out to any appreciable degree. Dreamc...

Artifice, in the genitive: Boulder Opals

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007/08/boulder-opals.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Saturday, August 18, 2007. I bought some tubes of semi-raw Boulder Opals. All the unset Opals I could find were made to mounted flat, and none of them would have worked for wire-work. I am so. Happy to have found these tubes. (They still weren't cheap. Bah! Now I need some thinner and softer wire. Here's attempt #1 at wrapping:. Boulder Opal wrapped in Sterling Silver. It's about 1cm wide and 1cm tall, so it's pretty tiny.).

Artifice, in the genitive: Otakon 2008

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2008/08/otakon-2008.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Monday, August 11, 2008. Decided to attend Otakon with about 2 weeks to spare on a costume. Alas, my costume required no props whatsoever, but I did make a few ikkle props for the cosplay group (Avatar, sans main characters) of which I was a part. Watch this space for photos.

Artifice, in the genitive: Wire wrapping... uh, the fifth?

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007/09/wire-wrapping-uh-fifth.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Thursday, September 06, 2007. Wire wrapping. uh, the fifth? Check the bottom photo for scale (until I add specific measurements for each item). I keep confusing this one with the other stone w/ a curl. Front view and side view. The interesting thing is that half the stone is translucent, and the layer between the opaque and translucent is a shiny purple. This was probably the one that most caught my eye. I don't think I am too happy...

Artifice, in the genitive: May 2007

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Monday, May 21, 2007. Photoshop System Requirements (6-CS3 Elements). I spent quite awhile trying to find the system requirements for various editions of Adobe Photoshop. Surprisingly, wikipedia did not have these listed, so I had to compile my own set.

Artifice, in the genitive: Wire wrapping, the third

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007/08/wire-wrapping-third.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Wednesday, August 22, 2007. Wire wrapping, the third. Do we see a pattern in my posts? The blue vein is pretty, though not as multi-hued and sparkly as some others. The pendant is just over 1cm, from eye to tip:. This one isn't a visually complex stone and wrapping, but I really like the flecks at the bottom point. Fullest width: 1.5cm. I like the subtlety and simplicity of this one:. Wow, those are gorgeous! Wire wrapping, the third.

Artifice, in the genitive: Opal-related hijinks

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007/08/opal-related-hijinks.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Tuesday, August 28, 2007. I now have little display cases for them! I wanted to put the little "Australian Opal" stickers on the cases, but they would've obscured 75% of the lid.). Actually, this entry was composed as rant, but I might as well tell you about some of the processes behind the wire-wrapped opals I've been posting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007/08/wire-wrapping-iv-saga-continues.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Saturday, August 25, 2007. Wire Wrapping IV: The Saga Continues. I've run out of simple to wrap stones, so things get a little trippy right about now. We'll see how far I can get with the remaining stones. This triangular stone shouldn't have been difficult, but part of the point decided not to cooperate, and I snapped. My first wire, so I had to scrap the original plan. And the triangular spiral?

Artifice, in the genitive: Opals, video view

http://artificis.blogspot.com/2007/09/opals-video-view.html

Artifice, in the genitive. Perfection, of a kind, is what I'm after. Saturday, September 01, 2007. Opals, video view. Well, the depth of focus is crap, so it's pretty fuzzy. I had to sacrifice the focus depth in order to get the view close enough to show the colors. Since you're looking for flashes of light, I guess the fuzziness isn't as obscuring as it might be for. text, or somesuch. 1 Queensland boulder opal chip. 2 Boulder matrix, jeweler finished. (Crimson, blues, greens). 4 Boulder chip, raw.
